Why did Willard kill him if he agreed with him?
>Everyone gets everything he wants. I wanted a mission, and for my sins, they gave me one. Brought it up to me like room service. It was a real choice mission, and when it was over, I never wanted another.

Willard didn't fully agree with Kurtz. Willard reacted with quite a bit of horror when he saw what Kurtz' compound was like. Also, Willard was a broken, half-crazy man himself. And he thought "Even the jungle wanted him dead... and that's who he really took his orders from".
Perhaps more fundamentally... why did Kurtz kill North Vietnamese soldiers if he agreed with them?
Perhaps even more fundamentally... Coppola didn't really have much of a plot, and the filming was a disjointed mess.
he was assigned to kill him. not only that, but he also felt that kurtz knew he was at the end of his line, and wanted a fellow soldier to give him a soldier's death. this is explained in the fucking movie dude

I didn't know Jeffrey Tambor was in Apocalypse Now?
Kurtz wanted Willard to kill him.

Howdy doo! I’m Colonel Kurtz
Fat and bald like old Fred Mertz
Watch me do a Hula dance
To shake the egg rolls from my pants
He’s not so bad
He’s really just an odd man
And I shaved my head like Dennis Rodman
He’s a god, man!

he doesn't ideologically agree with them he just revered their willingness to commit atrocities in pursuit of their aims

>he just wanted his fucking mangoes man
This type of man without a mission becomes idle and lost. There is a drive to fulfill the mission. Both of them are the same at different points in their life/career.

He was an errand boy
