The way that Captain Willard is directly told, on the record, by U.S. Army senior leadership to kill Colonel Kurtz is not realistic. The U.S. military has never authorized the murder of American personnel in an official way, and while it is plausible that the military would have unofficially tasked Willard to kill Kurtz, the order was neither clandestine nor covert, and therefore implausible. Given that Kurtz was wanted for desertion, and not direct crimes against fellow U.S. service members (such as assault or murder), any official order would more likely have called for him to be arrested and court-martialed rather than executed.
