The glorious 100 years of history of Juche Korea is being glorified thanks to the 80 year-long history of the KPA, says Rodong Sinmun.

It goes on:

The revolutionary traditions of Paektu, the lifeblood of the Korean revolution, were provided by the army and the indomitable mental power the core of which is the spirit of devotedly defending the leader was also created by the KPA. The precious gains of Korean-style socialism were also achieved thanks to the pioneer role of the army.

The 80 years of history covered by the Korean revolutionary armed forces teaches the iron truth that when the issue of the succession to leadership is successfully solved in army building, it will guarantee the emergence of the invincible forces.

President Kim Il Sung was the legendary brilliant commander who founded the original Songun idea, ushered in a new history of building the Juche-oriented revolutionary armed forces and defeated two imperialisms in one generation.

Leader Kim Jong Il was an outstanding military genius who strengthened the KPA into the army of the leader, the party and the people under the banner of modeling the entire army on the Juche idea and put the DPRK on the position of world-level military power.

Supreme Commander Kim Jong Un is a distinguished brilliant commander of Songun who is possessed of the Juche-oriented military idea and tactics, matchless grit and will, adroit and consummate art of command and noble virtue at a highest stage.

As the great brilliant commander of Songun is being held at the top post of the revolutionary armed forces, the bright future is being opened up before the country and the nation and the might of the KPA has been cemented.

Minju Joson says that victory and glory are in store for the heroic KPA holding the peerlessly great persons of Mt. Paektu in high esteem.
