Rodong Sinmun on Fatherland Liberation War

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

    Pyongyang, July 24 (KCNA) -- The victory in the Fatherland Liberation War was a brilliant victory of the Songun idea, leadership and exploits and tradition provided by President Kim Il Sung, states Rodong Sinmun Tuesday.
    The author of the article continues:
    The DPRK army and people could work world-startling military miracles in the war. This was possible because they had firm political and military foundations laid by Kim Il Sung under the banner of Songun.
    Kim Il Sung was a rare statesman versed in military affairs and invincible and iron-willed commander who laid down the principle of the revolution advancing with the might of arms and paved the unique way of the Songun revolution. In the first days of pioneering the Korean revolution, the President put forward the unique idea of attaching importance to the arms and to military affairs and put forth enormous efforts to reinforcing the driving force of the revolution with the armed units as a core.
    He firmly adhered to the principle of Songun in building a new country after the liberation.
    The victory in the Fatherland Liberation War demonstrated the matchless might of the Korean People's Army which had grown in strength and developed in the storm of the Songun revolution under the leadership of the President.
    The DPRK, less than two years after the proclamation of its foundation, could decisively drive back the large-scale military invasion of the U.S. imperialists. It owed this to the invincible revolutionary army fostered by the President.
    The victory in the war was a brilliant victory of the revolutionary spirit of Mt. Paektu created in the flames of the anti-Japanese struggle under the leadership of the President.
    It was also a brilliant victory of the great army-people unity which traces its origin to the anti-Japanese revolution.
    The Fatherland Liberation War of the people of the DPRK who firmly defended the destiny of the country and the nation and worked military miracles which would shine long in the history of the anti-imperialist struggle with the might of Songun left behind really a valuable philosophical principle of the revolution.
    If victory is to be won in a showdown with imperialism, it is necessary, first, second and third, to have great strategist and a brilliant commander of Songun as supreme commander. This is the most precious truth drawn from the Fatherland Liberation War. The gifted military wisdom and iron-willed faith, unshakable grit and astounding pluck of the President were the source of the unyielding fight waged by the DPRK army and people with conviction of victory in the war.
    Standing at the head of the Songun revolution today is Kim Jong Il, son of the guerillas of Mt. Paektu and great brilliant commander of Songun. No force on earth can match the DPRK army and people who are led by the peerlessly brilliant commander of Songun and are possessed of an invincible revolutionary army of Mt. Paektu and unbreakable single-minded unity.
