I dunno...if I was a family member of one of the deceased I would prefer the bodies be brought back and given a proper funeral, not left to rot on the bottom of the ocean.

If it were my father, I would want him to remain where he had fallen in combat, especially after he had lain in the same place for approx. 100 years. I agree.
