The CIA operates in the US VIA MI6 and vice versa. MI6 cannot operate in the UK, that's MI5 and the GCHQ. T The Rangers weren't disbanded because of a perceived lack of success. They were disbanded because of the "Big Army" prejudice against special operations in general. The new "Atomic Age" era of warfare would be conventional forces, or a repeat of 1944. Thus no room for misfits -which is generally how the Rangers were viewed. This lasted well into the late 1950's and Indochina: note how quickly the Rangers were disbanded AGAIN right after Korea...
