The Workers' Party of Korea's Songun leadership exploits serve as an ever-victorious banner which helps demonstrate the sovereign dignity and invincible might of the country, a valuable treasure which helps immensely reinforce the single-minded unity of the service personnel and people around the headquarters of the revolution and a treasured sword for bringing about a leap forward, which helps effect great innovations on all fronts for building a thriving nation by giving free rein to their mental power, the editorial notes, and goes on:

Thanks to the powerful military capability for self-defense built up under the banner of Songun, the DPRK is now firmly maintaining its independent stand, remaining undeterred by any formidable enemy's threat of aggression, and carrying on its revolution and construction its own way, guided by its ideology and faith.

The DPRK is shedding its rays as an invincible political and ideological power and as a country which boasts single-minded unity. This is a noble fruition of Kim Jong Il's unique Songun revolutionary leadership as he has wisely led the efforts to train the revolutionary ranks of the DPRK with the Korean People's Army as the core into elite ones.

The whole country is now alive with the dynamic advance for a leap forward towards a thriving nation. The high-pitched drive for a great revolutionary surge is giving free rein to the mental power of all the service personnel and people and causing events to take place one after another to knock the gate to a thriving nation, translating all the people's ideals into brilliant realities.

The editorial calls on all the servicepersons and people to work hard to win a greater victory in the on-going drive for a great surge under the Songun leadership of the WPK, bearing deep in mind the immense national honor of holding Kim Jong Il in high esteem.
