Didn't Kurtz fuck off to form a fascist death cult and wage his own war against the VC (only to instead just die of malaria on his own)? He's basically a piss-take on the whole "America was too soft in Vietnam!" narrative, like he goes full-fash and devotes himself to just doing war crimes 24/7 to such an extent that even the US military is like "woah slow down there buddy that's a bit much don't you think?", he goes rogue so he can do it even more, and then dies of fucking malaria before the special forces death squad sent to deal with him can even kill him.
Oh, that's right, Martin Sheen cuts his head off doesn't he? He is dying of malaria, but he lets Martin Sheen kill him instead because he has the whole fascist "wanting a warrior's death" thing going on.

No, I think that's what happens in Heart of Darkness, but in Apocalypse Now he is murdered by the guy sent to kill him.
