Fuller Play to Heroic Stamina of Songun Korea Called for

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK via Korea News Service (KNS)

    Pyongyang, July 19 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun Tuesday devotes a page to an editorial article titled "The general march of the Songun revolution is a heroic one in our times." The general march of the Songun revolution is a successful continuation of the proud history and tradition of the Korean revolution which has demonstrated only victory through heroic marches and its development in depth at a new higher stage, the article notes, and continues:
    It is the on-going drive of our army and people that decides the steady victory in our revolution or its failure. It is the only way of winning one victory after another and paving the wide avenue for bringing about the greatest national prosperity to conduct a more dynamic all-people march.
    The essential characteristic feature and might of the general march lie in that the People's Army, invincible revolutionary armed forces, is projected as a main force and the revolutionary soldier spirit and heroic fighting traits created by it serve as a powerful engine and the perfect unity of the army and people in thinking and fighting traits gives strong impetus to the advance of the times.
    The general march is the most powerful all-people grand march in history.
    For our army and people the general march serves as a sacred struggle in which they share their destiny with their leader to the last and work hard to bring about the prosperity of the country and happiness of all generations to come, true to the cause of the Workers' Party of Korea.
    The general march is an all-people one to devotedly defend the headquarters of the revolution and an offensive for protecting the socialist country.
    Final victory in the present confrontation with the U.S. and success in building a great prosperous powerful nation lie in devotedly defending the leader.
    The outstanding leadership provided by the headquarters of the revolution is a sure guarantee for the victorious general march. The wise leadership provided by Kim Jong Il over the general march imbues our army and people with immense confidence and optimism.
    The invincible military power and single-minded unity are the driving force of the general march. They are the master key to achieving leaping advance of the country and its prosperity despite the enemies' obstinate offensive to isolate and stifle the DPRK and destabilize it.
    The DPRK's army and single-minded unity that have grown strong by dint of the great Songun political mode serve as the most powerful weapon in the general march.
    The victory in the general march is guaranteed by the Korean-style line of economic construction and the tremendous potential of the independent economy.
    Ideology is the most powerful weapon for the general march and the Songun revolution advances and emerges victorious thanks to its might.
    It is the primary task of the general march to consolidate the politico-ideological position of socialism as firm as a rock by conducting the ideological work in a dynamic and unique manner. It is necessary to concentrate efforts on the ideological work for preparing the servicepersons of the People's Army and members of the Party and other working people as genuine Songun revolutionary soldiers who, armed with the spirit of devotedly defending the headquarters of the revolution, have made the Juche idea, the Songun idea, their faith.
    It is important to deepen the ideological education aimed at instilling the faith and optimism about socialism into them in combination with the work for establishing a socialist view on morality and the lifestyle based on collectivism.
    Underscoring the need to give full play to the revolutionary spirit of self-reliance in the general march, the article stresses that one should believe in one's own strength and self-reliance is the only way to live.
    All the Party members, servicepersons and people should come out as one to thoroughly implement the joint slogans of the Central Committee and the Central Military Commission of the WPK and thus fully demonstrate the might of the Songun unity.
    The article calls upon everyone to single-mindedly unite around Kim Jong Il and demonstrate to the full the heroic spirit of Songun Korea in the general march.
