While large conventional units usually have the ability to immediately recover the dead after a battle that is not always the situation with Special Forces operations.

Agree 100%.
I don't want a brother paying with his life to come get my body after I am done with it.
Leave it, or pick it up next time you are in the neighborhood.
I also do not want to be writing several more letters to families because I sent people out to recover an obviously dead soldier while under fire. We'll pick him up after we win the fight.
