I said esprit de corps needs to be rethought if it makes men want to go risk their lives for dead bodies.

I have heard much on this subject from relations of mine in the services. I think the primary motivation for retrieving the bodies from the field is that it shows that the force had possession and control of the field after the battle. Some religious elements within the service do try to place religious motives on every practice and action, but the practice of retreiving the dead (and mutilating the dead of the enemy) predates any current religion.
