Outside the shop, the crowd began calling out "Mike Tyson!" and "Michael Jackson!" at the only black soldier present, Staff Sgt. Darren Swain. When he told them his name, they started chanting, "Swain! Swain! Swain!"LOL!

They obviously haven't seen Michael Jackson lately.
I'm sure our GI looked nothing like him!

Sgt. Swain showed great restraint. From what I heard, he bit off a chunk of the interpreter's ear.

And when they reached the trash-choked streets of New Market and parked their four Humvees, they were immediately mobbed. "I couldn't believe it. These guys came up and kissed the flag on my shoulder!" said Specialist Steve Beaman.
Yet another good news story.
