I'm not so concerned that some of these things are being dismantled. They have a limited shelf life anyway.
What is more concerning is whether they are being replaced by anything other than this administration's well wishes to our enemies.

Back in the 90s B-52Hs were fitted with the Common Strategic Rotary Launcher. Those planes could no longer carry the B53. The B53 role of bunker busting by laydown delivery was replaced by the earth penetrating B61-11, up to eight of which could be carried on the CSRL, instead of the single B53 previously carried.
