Then you see no evidence of that?

I suppose it depends on how you define Special Forces.
The official DOD dictionary says -

special forces
(DOD) US Army forces organized, trained, and equipped to conduct special operations with an emphasis on unconventional warfare capabilities. Also called SF.

dtic.mil

If you go to the link, you will find dozens of other units that have begun to use the words "special" "forces" in their self description. And there are more than shown. Other Examples, I read a recent article by a SEAL describing SEALS as Special Forces. I've seen a couple of articles about USAF Special Forces meteorologists.

When someone writes that Special Forces is influencing the action it is impossible to know what the writer really means unless the unit is clearly identified.

All of these other units are thieves. They are stealing the army's Special Forces legacy and unit history to define themselves as something they are not.
