War exhaustion rises with troop recruitment . period.
the amount of WE you get for a recruitment depends on it's size relative to your MP pool
the difference between war and peace is the natural lowering of it (not sure on the details, but I think something like 0.125 during wartime when no battles are taking place, 0.25 during peace)
If you have the money and need some troops, rely on recruiting mercenaries while you're trying to shed the WE.
with ~100 BB, hope for stab increasing events, investing in stab just won't be worth it.
