> So how many recorded cases are there where a corpse has been so blown to bits and their family would have thought their loved one might still be alive but for their tattoo? (I'm presuming all their DNA was destroyed in the process)
Not many but enough to make it worthwhile. Five were reported on the Sir Galahad in the Falklands War. Their faces had been melted. Their tattoos were still intact.
I am not suggesting their family might still think they were alive (but people do hold out irrational hope without an actual confirmation) but I am suggesting they had a lot less waiting to find out whether to plan for a homecoming or a funeral. And I think making people wait in the dark for news of a loved one's death is cruel. But since AC doesn't like tattoos, none of that matters. Families don't matter. Information doesn't matter. Apparently.
