Rodong Sinmun on Ideological Source of Revolutionary Soldier Spirit

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK

    Pyongyang, September 23 (KCNA) -- The revolutionary soldier spirit is a lofty revolutionary spirit representing the great Songun era and a powerful ideological weapon for working miracles and performing exploits in the revolution and construction. Rodong Sinmun Thursday says this in a signed article. It goes on: The revolutionary outlook on the leader is the ideological source of the revolutionary soldier spirit. The Korean People's Army (KPA), regarding the loyalty to its supreme commander as its lifeline, has demonstrated its invincible might in the fierce anti-imperialist struggle and on the forefront of the revolution and construction for over 70 years.
    It is stronger in ideology and faith as it has more transparent revolutionary outlook on the leader than any other ranks.
    The KPA could, therefore, create the revolutionary soldier spirit in those hard days of the "Arduous March" and is now fully demonstrating its honor as the standard-bearer of the Songun revolution, a core unit and a main force.
    The staunch fighting spirit of the revolutionary forerunners is the ideological and mental basis of the revolutionary soldier spirit.
    Anti-Japanese revolutionary forerunners fought, considering President Kim Il Sung who taught them the revolutionary truth and led to the road of struggle as their spiritual mainstay and cherishing the firm faith that it is their honor to live or die on this road.
    The revolutionary spirit of Mt. Paektu served as an ideological and mental source that inspired the People's Army to fully display its might during the last Fatherland Liberation War and the death-defying confrontation with the U.S. imperialists.
    In the course of the struggle to successfully carry forward the revolutionary spirit of Mt. Paektu created in the early period of the revolution, the Korean revolutionary armed forces have grown to be steel-strong ranks ready to staunchly fight in hearty response to any call of the Party and the leader without the slightest vacillation in any storm and stress.
    The main contents of the revolutionary spirit of Mt. Paektu are the intense loyalty to Kim Il Sung, the revolutionary spirit of self-reliance and fortitude, the spirit of overcoming any difficulties on one's own efforts, and the indomitable revolutionary spirit of wiping out enemies though they may often die. The revolutionary soldier spirit of the People's Army is displaying its invincible might as it is creditably carrying forward this spirit.
