After the Sullivan tragedy, why are two brothers allowed to serve in the same unit?

The Sullivan brothers were killed about a year before this incident. We were fighting a World War on two major fronts so the luxury of limiting familial losses was not a big priority. Later after the war it was a big deal.

The Hanson Twins were two of five Hansen brothers that served during World War II, one of which died in the Solomons in 1943 and two served in the Army.

I know twins that share some sort of an ESP connection, so it would be interesting to find out whether anyone has ever looked into this being used as an advantage on the battlefield.
