KCNA

    Pyongyang, September 21 (KCNA) -- The Korean People's Army is reliably defending the DPRK as a main force in the cause of the Songun revolution, says Rodong Sinmun today in a signed article. It goes on:
    The main force of the revolution means the hardcore, the pillar of the revolutionary ranks.
    The KPA is, first of all, playing the role of a hardcore unit in strengthening the driving force of the revolution.
    It plays such a role in the driving force of the revolution because it is the strongest in the revolutionary spirit, organization and discipline in our society.
    The strong revolutionary spirit, organization, discipline and unity are an intrinsic characteristics and advantages of the KPA that no other group of society can have and, at the same time, a model in making the whole society elite and strong.
    The role and example of the KPA as a pacesetter are the source of strength which helps achieve the perfect unity of the army and the people in thinking and fighting spirit and gets them united close in one ideology and purpose.
    The KPA is also playing the role of a shock brigade in the building of a great prosperous powerful nation.
    It is a group of the highly awakened and organized revolutionaries and the hardcore unit tempered and tested. That is why the revolutionary army plays the vanguard role in socialist construction, too.
    During the "Arduous March", the most difficult period, leader Kim Jong Il firmly believed in the revolutionary spirit and militancy of the KPA and put it forward as a standard-bearer and shock brigade to pave the way for the building of a great prosperous powerful nation.
    The KPA, the hardcore and pivotal force in the revolutionary armed forces, is standing guard with rifles over the forefront of the country to protect the security of the country and the people from enemies.
