The next time you want to sound like you're discussing hiring practices in a purely abstract way, maybe don't dedicate so much of the argument to how you, specifically, weren't hired. Despite being top 1%!

If you can't get hired then you've failed the only test that matters.
I'm engaging in describing my experience with reports on Ukraine as I remember it.
Another point: the recruiters ought to have more information on how the war's going than the average potential volunteer does. If they're still offering wads of cash, then it's probably not going to be a 2 weeks walk in the park.

Ukraine has been losing ground faster and faster for 5 years now, at the risk of repeating myself. I do not recall hearing about the front being in Kiev yet.
What is different about the "momentum" today that wasn't true a year ago, or two years ago, or at any other point where Ukraine was about to collapse any day now?

At this point, what I expect to spark new waves of volunteers more than anything is rising compensation along with rising big expenses such as mortgages and cars, not some stale propaganda. It's been five years, infamously longer than The Most Holiest of Patriotic Wars 1941-1945.
At the very least, who's gonna be fool enough to volunteer during winter? If you're going to go to war and can pick when you go, you wait until the season of snow and mud is over.

And 3e, sadly, seems to have been dead on arrival from the start.
Doesn't look like it when observing the more mainstream Exalted discord and subreddit, which almost all seem to recommend and play 3e. But then, seeing their reasoning, such as "3e makes parties composed of different types of Exalted more viable", I am reassured that I picked the correct edition. Why, exactly, would I want homogenisation between Solars and Terrestrials?

The grognards from the TTRPG chat I frequent recommended 2e, so 2e it is.

Do they, or do they just never use contraception?

Most of the time I'm around a small child for more than 10 minutes, what I recall is grubby tantrums, usually punctuated by the parents either hissing at the child to shut up in their best rendition of a gorgon, or ineffectually pleading to calm down.
Need I clarify that those are not the beatific and inspiring experiences you describe?

Still on the Exalted rule books (there are a lot), slowly cajoling my friends into creating characters so I can start cajoling myself into preparing to DM a game.

What do you believe the differences are?

I've seen people's happiness and welfare increasing in correlation with them going out to concerts. Never as a result of buying new iPhones on multi-year credit plans or taking up sports betting.
I have little patience for highbrowed arguments that actually betting is just another form of consumption. Degenerate gambling, quite evidently, is bad.
Russia is not quite at the level of Day of the Oprichnik.
