??? Maybe I'm remembering Mulan wrong, but I don't remember her wanting to do it for the glory or excitement. I thought she got kicked out of the army and was going to go home in shame until she found out the Huns weren't dead so she had to go warn people (and then they didn't believe her so she had to do shit herself etc).

You're missing probably the most important scene in Mulan's character development then.

The scene right before she sees the Huns are still alive, when they are sitting out in the snow, she reflects with Mushu about her real reasons for wanting to be in the army.

Oh, I guess I don't remember that. It's been 5+ years since I last watched it.

Didn't she say that she wanted to prove she could do things right? I think she said something like, "So when I looked in the mirror, I'd see someone worthwhile". I didn't interpret that part as her wanting glory and excitement. I thought that was her wanting to do something right for once (since she failed at traditionally feminine pursuits) to make her family proud of her.

I completely agree, and I think this is a really good distinction.
