Why does the Army not have as much pride as the Marines?

Sorry guys, But when You're the Finest it's hard to be humble. Semper Fi

Just because the Army's indoctrination involves less of it's own cheerleading and doesn't promote a cult mentality among it's members doesn't mean we're not proud of our branch.

The honor of the regiment has been an Army thing since at least the Civil War and possibly since it's founding. Elementis Regamus Proelium

Yes we have the same pride and Hooah the marines do. I have worked with all the services We all have good and bad but I will put my Soldiers against any other service. It’s the attitude and good and bad Hooah

Army has pride in their branch and unit especially in the units or branch history. The Army also doesn't have a very inspirational song like the Marines.

By the time I retired, I had already noticed that soldiers dont take pride in their service, they more or less treat it like a job and a place to get off the streets of America. I often seen way to many soldiers who shouldn't have been progressing as fast as they should have, but, when your drinking and hanging out with your NCO'S in your off time... well, I think I am making my point. Either way, their is no Army wide pride in service and NCO's are not upholding standards of the look of soldiers... Hair that is not regulation, uniforms that are to big and sagging, etc. Until soldiers are held to standard there will never be the pride of service like the Marine Corps.

Once a marine always a marine. The army does not take this attitude 100 percent.

I truly don't think that they care about their branch as much as we Marines do about the Corps. Case in point. When I was stationed at the Marine Detachment, U.S. Disciplinary Barracks, Ft. Leavenworth, KS some of the soldiers from the Army side of the house came to us and asked us for help in setting up their celebration for the Army Birthday. Evidently they had never celebrated it in quite the same style as we Marines and wanted our guidance and expertise. So we gave them our assistance.

Doubtful, due to the size of the communities in question. When I was in, ('69-'71), we were told that upon completion of BCT, we were qualified to be replacements in a rifle platoon. However, when assigned to support AIT's, the warfighter spirit and attitude was downplayed, even put on the back burner, ("You're not infantry, your MOS is fill-in-the-blank"). Instead of focusing on what the Army's primary function is, it becomes an 8a-5p job, (no weekends or holidays), in BDU's. Every few years, the Army Commandant professes to change all that, reinstill the warfighter spirit throughout the Army. Not holding my breath.

Marine don't have that universal pride though. They put on a solid front when an outsider talks smack, so I guess that that way they do.
But if you talk to some, they will start talking shit about other regiments. And of course 03xx versus everyone else.
