The former, yes. The latter, no. Slowing recruitment will eventually weaken their organization. Bringing a few officials down only means some great job opportunties have just opened up for whoever was under them.
Of course, I don't think the CoS releases new membership numbers, so we'll never really know if recruitment will ever be affected by this 'war' will we?
