There is an advertisement for Hempvana where a supposed USAF person claims he has 4500 confirmed kills during his service. What a bunch of hooey.

Sounds unlikely to me

Maybe a bombing raid on a town of known population?

Is that the guy who the ad touts as a retired USAF Command Chief Master Sergeant? He pisses me off so bad, when he says, "When I won the Silver Star.....", and then you see him aiming at a target that can't be more than 75 yards away. Wouldn't be too hard to kill 4500 from that range
No true soldier would bank on his rank and awards in such a manner. He's a big sellout to all those who wear or have worn the uniform.
OP
It's a cream you put on sore muscles, joints, etc. Supposedly has Marijuana in it, or so they say.
Hempvana is advertised as a pain reliever...Breaking down its name, "hemp" suggests a derivative of cannabis, or marijuana or my preferred name: wacky weed..."Vana" may be a contraction of "nirvana" defined in Buddhism as the "final beatitude that transcends suffering"...Together they suggest a dream world in which it may be possible for a USAF Command Chief Master Sergeant to take the lives of 4500 beings of some sort (maybe human, maybe not), and be celebrated as a hero...
To those not familiar with USAF hierarchy, a Command Chief Master Sergeant (pay grade E-9) is the senior enlisted advisor to a unit or base commander...I am not familiar with the subject of this thread, but without wasting my time on research, I would suggest it is the invention of an addled mind, and one possibly guilty of stolen valor...
That is all...

EDIT: I'll further add that nobody ever "won" a decoration for valor...These are awarded to the recipient by a grateful nation, they are not "won"...

Regardless of who or what the "claimant" is this sounds like so much BS. I doubt many batallions or air wings kill that many of the enemy during a single deployment!

Mystery top-notch drone pilot operating for the last 20 years out of some trailer out in the desert SW?
In my two careers over the last half-century, I've worked with more combat veterans than I could count, from World War II, Korea, Vietnam, the first Gulf War, and the War on Terror.
Many of these men undoubtedly took the lives of enemy combatants. Not one of them ever boasted about it, or claimed to have "won" medals...

Googled for informaion on the claimant
Summary of Veterans and battle experience
In many cases:
Those who talk - Didn't!
Those who did - Won't talk.
Bekeart
Curious - Went to google.
I did find information.
Trust, but Verify - Ronald Regan.
The valor.defense.gov site does list the man.
Many non-gov sites list details.
Markham William C Technical Sergeant Operation Enduring Freedom
Air Force - Silver Star
Sergeant Markham skillfully directed multiple air strikes involving over one hundred seventy-five sorties of both strategic and attack aircraft resulting in the elimination of approximately four hundred and fifty enemy vehicles and over three thousand five hundred enemy troops.

I seem to have missed the point of this thread, if there is one.
The JTACs my son worked with knew they weren't doing the killing. The Hog pilots were. Generally speaking, they are an incredible group of people, risking their lives to do a very dangerous job.
I'll have to ask Tom if he knows that guy.

Quite possible as the Bombardier on the Arc Light missions, along with the rest of the crew getting you there.
Did meet an old gent at the VA hospital, last week, that claimed he was a Navigator on a B52. Said he never heard the term
Arc Light.
