The KPA is the army of the Workers' Party of Korea (WPK), death-defying corps in defending socialism and shock-brigade in building a socialist power, the editorial says, and goes on:

Under the guidance of the peerless Songun brilliant commander the service personnel have firmly armed themselves with the revolutionary spirit of Paektu, the spirit of the blizzards of Paektu, possessed brave attack methods and trained dauntless valor of making leap forward in the spirit of "At one go."

Adversity has turned into favorable condition and a new history been created to bring dramatic changes thanks to the heroic struggle of the service personnel who do not know the word "impossibility."

Their spirit of flattening even a mountain and emptying a sea once they are ordered to do so serves as a powerful engine propelling the whole country to share the idea and intention with the Party Central Committee and keep pace with it and as a strong weapon for bringing about eye-opening events and changes.

Sky-high is the spirit of all service personnel and people who are all out in the building of a socialist power under the leadership of the ever-victorious WPK.

The servicepersons and people of the DPRK are dynamically advancing along the road of prosperity unfolded by the Party Central Committee while demonstrating their dignity as masters of the invincible politico-ideological power, independent nuclear power no one dare to provoke.

Their unity in idea and fighting traits, the modeling of the revolutionary ranks on the monolithic idea have been successfully achieved in the grandiose drive for implementing the idea and policies of the Party and upholding its policies.

No difficulties are insurmountable when the servicepersons' spirit of devotedly implementing the Party's policies is displayed in attaining the exceptionally high goals and weathering manifold ordeals, the editorial concludes.
