Yes and no, this is a rough synopsis of what I've been getting.

British troops have been using a carrot/stick system, they've moved into areas comparatively softly and tried to interact with the local community, then when shit has hit the fan they've gone in hard and it's gone away, partly because of greater local support of their presence.
