Office of Strategic Services and Special Forces
Hi. I've reverted your edit to these two articles, because the source you provided does not actually support such a broad statements as that the U.S. special forces descended from the O.S.S.  What the source says is that one particular unit has its origins in the O.S.S. teams and another military unit, which means, of course, that even in that specific case the O.S.S. was not the only source. As well, other special forces units, such as the Army Rangers, already existed at the time. If you want to restore the claim, you'll need to find a citation from a reliable souerce that supports a broad statement regarding the relationship of the U.S. Special Forces to the O.S.S., or else narrow the claim being made to one which is actually supported by the source you provided.
