Not really, he's very eccentric but an excellent and fearless officer. (Did you see Colonel Kilgore's entry in "Villains Wiki"? These guys clearly watched some other movie.)
NOW, the whole movie is entirely misunderstood. Because you see, even, and rather especially, Colonel Kurtz is a hero. Marlon Brando's casting badly damaged his character, because in the script he's looking like a long haired blonde Adonis while also being like Mars incarnated. The original ending had him dying heroically after manning a ground mounted minigun (from a long disabled helicopter) to mow down a horde of North Vietnamese invading his temple. (I'm not making it up.) Brando was already hardly mobile, besides bald.
You're right. The character should have been more like (a less crazy) Homelander or Ozymandias from the Watchmen, as opposed to Brando, who came across as a strange drugged out creepy weirdo.
