The revolutionary spirit of soldiers represents a powerful ideological and moral weapon which was instrumental in ushering in the era of the great army-based policy and an ideological and mental pabulum for training the Korean people as staunch fighters in that era.
Kim Jong Il set forth the original army-centered revolutionary line in the most arduous period of the Korean revolution and directed primary efforts to strengthening and developing the people's army. It was in that historic period that the revolutionary spirit of soldiers, a model in the times, was created and a breakthrough was made towards the victory of the Korean revolution and the prosperity of the country.
A radical change is taking place in the ideological and moral aspects of our people. it is the real picture of our society that all members of the society are emerging staunch fighters in the era of the army-based policy to display heroism and perform feats by learning from the ideological and mental traits of the servicemen of the KPA.
The revolutionary spirit of soldiers represents a powerful engine for the building of a powerful nation in the era of the army-based policy.
This is clearly evidenced by such proud victories and successes achieved in the revolution and construction in recent years as continued victories in the political and military confrontation with the imperialists, a brilliant victory in the "arduous march", the forced march and a leaping advance made in the drive to build an economically powerful nation.
The prospect of the Korean revolution advancing in the revolutionary spirit of soldiers under the leadership of Kim Jong Il is bright, it is sure to triumph and a prosperous and powerful socialist nation is certain to emerge on this land..
