Increasing Number of Young People Volunteer to Join or Rejoin Army
Pyongyang, March 6 (KCNA) -- Upon hearing the statement issued by the spokesman for the Supreme Command of the Korean People's Army (KPA), an increasing number of young people in various parts of the country are volunteering to join or rejoin the KPA.

The number of those youths has reached more than 1.94 million.

In North Hwanghae Province alone, more than 176 540 young people did so.

Tens of thousands of students of universities and colleges in Sariwon City held a meeting for the above-said purposes.

Written on the petitions are "Let's crush Lee Myung Bak, idiot without an equal in the world and other gangsters" and other letters.

A meeting took place in Songchon County to vow to seek a revenge with 11 120 young people attending. The venue of the meeting shook with shouts of such slogans as "Let us wipe out troops in Inchon City to last one" and "Finish off mercilessly Kim Kwan Jin and Jong Sung Jo in the name of the nation."

Young people in Ongjin County, South Hwanghae Province, and Cholwon County, Kangwon Province, declared they would become human bullets and bombs and turn the whole bulwarks of the enemies into seas in flames once an order is issued by the respected Supreme Commander.

More than 5 280 secondary school graduates across the country who had exams for higher schools are also volunteering to join the KPA.
