Only the tanks ore also the crew inside, because a M1 that gets toss around will still hurt those inside.

Good point. To ensure that the tank can still do what it does best, the crew will become invincible as long as they're operating the M1 Abrams in combat.

And now I'm imagining soldiers signing up to become M1 crew members in droves since they'd become largely safe from sudden death in the midst of war (which is filled to the brim with that by its very nature).

What about ammunition, does a M1 have unlimited amount ore normal amount.

Eh, how about making it unlimited? We're already granting the M1 Abrams physical indestructibility; why not endless munitions too, as long as we're at it?

Well it would be fair, if it had not it would run out of fuel and ammunition, turning it into a invincible box.

True. Since I'm no engineer or military aficionado, that makes me wonder, could any of the endless ammunition and fuel be drained out of M1 Abrams tanks for use elsewhere? I especially don't know whether the design and mechanisms would allow for easy fuel drainage, hence my question.

Do not know.

Question are only the M1 in use with the US Armed Forces effected ore are other users also crated this ability.

For simplicity's sake, how about only those M1 Abrams tanks operated by the US Military? Further M1s that roll off of defense contractors' assembly lines will still get indestructibility and limitless munitions--so long as they serve in the American armed forces.

Sins 1985 no M1 has rolled of the assembly line, all M1s that are sold to other nations come from stock the United States has.

...Oh. Well, then I suppose that only those M1s that remain in America’s arsenal stay invincible and equipped with infinite supplies. The rest become ASB intervention-free tanks, which ought to generate worldwide confusion and scientific research as to why that must be the case.

‘All Military Personnel Resurrected Whenever KIA’, allowing them to be redeployed into combat without end and after finite periods of rest and recovery, rather than being lost, well, forever.

Good so no SS soldiers.

Going to be traumatic for many families who lost soldiers sins 2000.

Why would this traumatize the families of revived servicemen and women, though? Obviously, the troops themselves will experience quite the shock and PTSD the first few times they wake up after dying. But eventually, they’ll get used to it to the point of becoming desensitized.

Then again, maybe the fact that military personnel will get revived by ASB magic whenever they perish will reduce how often war breaks out. Or, perhaps the way that societies conduct war could revolve around demoralizing—rather than permanently ending the lives of—enemy combatants to the point where they give up if it means no longer enduring the Hell created by repeated death and resurrection to participate in the fighting once again.

Some families have lived for 19 year with out a killed soldier, seeing one back might be traumatizing event for them.

Ah, I see what you mean now. However, the idea is that those KIA would be immediately resurrected with a new body, waking up in one of their side’s barracks, bases and/or medical facilities completely physically (if not psychologically) intact.

As such, since military personnel get revived right after perishing, their loved ones won’t go for years without ever seeing them again (or at least without the knowledge that they’re still alive and kicking, however many times they’ve died before).
