Once the unknown are identified, that is one less thing for the Argentines to whine about.

Shows how weak their claim is when they use dead bodies to try to advance it.

And totally disrespectful to their guys that died, who were put in harm's way, whilst their spineless military bosses stayed 1000 miles away from the action getting pissed, instead of fighting on the Islands.

(Margaret Thatcher to Al Haig),

Thatcher: What is the difference between talking to us and the Argentines?

Haig:They are usually drunk, and you are sober.
