Rodong Sinmun Deals with Role of KPA

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

   Pyongyang, January 27 (KCNA) -- The Korean People's Army plays the role of a strong pillar in defending the country and vanguard in socialist construction. Rodong Sinmun Saturday observes this in a by-lined article.
    Saying that the great Songun era is an emotion-charged era in which the KPA is taking the lead in socialist construction as a driving force of revolution and a mainstay of the country, the author of the article goes on:
    It is thanks to the KPA strong in idea and faith that the defence position of the country has been fortified and a turn brought about in building a prosperous powerful country despite intensified anti-DPRK aggression moves and economic sanctions of the U.S.-led imperialists. Without it, it is impossible to think about the might of Songun Korea demonstrating its dignity and bright future of a great prosperous powerful nation.
    The KPA plays the vanguard role not only in defending the country but also in building socialism as it is stronger in idea and spirit than any group of society. It has displayed the revolutionary soldier spirit, the spirit of going through thick and thin to carry out any task assigned by the Workers' Party of Korea and making the impossible possible and creating something out of nothing. This spirit has become a fundamental source whereby the servicepersons have created undying feats in socialist construction.
    The idea and mental power of the People's Army strongest in the revolutionary character and fighting spirit have served as source encouraging the revolutionary ranks in the country to perform fresh feats and work miracles.
    Now the servicepersons continue to work miracles and innovations in the building of a great prosperous powerful socialist country by fully displaying the revolutionary soldier spirit, the article concludes.
