I laughed a lot when I heard about it last month.

Michel Martelly is a man with a big tone of voice.

I imagine that when he was speaking he used his big tone and also used some words like Tonton Makout, Tet Kale. The US Marines went to translate it and realized that "Tonton Makout" was and oppressive group in the past. When they went to translate "Tet Kale", "Tet" means Head and "Kale" meant to them "coupe" or cut. "Tet Kale" was obviously to them "Koupe Tet".

So they thought that the Tonton Makout were about to come and cut heads.

lol
