Rodong Sinmun Tuesday observes in an article in this regard:

The past 18 years since the publication of the work represent a proud period in which the inexhaustible might of the revolutionary soldier spirit has been fully displayed.

The spirit, the core of which are the spirit of devotedly protecting the leader, the spirit of devotedly implementing the Party's policies and the heroic self-sacrificing spirit, is the noble spirit symbolizing and representing the Songun era. It serves as a mighty ideological weapon that prepares all the service personnel and people as performers of heroic feats.

The revolutionary soldier spirit serves as a powerful engine to help all the service personnel and people become fighters strong in ideology and faith who are boundlessly loyal to the party and the leader. It has become a fundamental source that fills the great socialist family with revolutionary comradeship and sense of obligation.

It also serves as a militant banner that encourages all to fully demonstrate their spirit of patriotic devotion in the sacred struggle for the country and its people.
