Missing US Soldiers

According to this report, they've been kidnapped by the insurgents.
An Iraqi farmer said Sunday that he saw seven heavily armed gunmen capture two American soldiers during an attack on a road checkpoint south of Baghdad, while U.S. troops search for their comrades for a second day.

Another Iraqi said the Americans were offering $100,000 for information leading to the abductors, but the U.S. command denied that. The White House promised to do everything it could to find the soldiers and said it had a message for anybody who may have taken the two men: "Give them back."

The Defence Department identified the missing men as Pfc. Kristian Menchaca, 23, of Houston, and Pfc. Thomas Tucker, 25, of Madras, Ore. It said Spc. David Babineau, 25, Springfield, Mass., was killed in the attack.

The purpose of this post is to identify these men. They are people and not just "numbers".

Sorry, but Army privates don't have pictures that Google can find.
