Songun Is Eternal Banner for Victory of Korean Revolution: Rodong Sinmun
Pyongyang, August 31 (KCNA) -- Songun represents a glorious tradition of the Korean revolution, symbol of the dignity and might of the DPRK and a treasured sword for bringing happiness to the people, Rodong Sinmun Monday says in an article.

It goes on:

Songun was the revolutionary idea and practices of leader Kim Jong Il and his political idea and mode.

He performed great exploits by steering the revolution and construction to victory by dint of the might of Songun for over half a century since the day he started the Songun revolutionary leadership.

He honorably defended socialism of Juche under the uplifted banner of Songun in the trying period when the destiny of the country and nation were at the crossroads of life and death and ensured steady succession to the Korean revolution. This was a miracle of history which could be worked only by him.

Thanks to Songun, the DPRK's dignity and might could be put on the highest level in the 5 000-year-long history of the nation and it could make a giant stride forward to surpass the world standard.

The June 15 era of reunification was ushered in, a fresh turning phase of national reunification brought about and victories were won in the nuclear stand-off with the U.S. one after anther to startle the world. All this would have been unthinkable without Kim Jong Il's original Songun politics.

The unshakable faith and will of Kim Jong Un, the great brilliant commander of Mt. Paektu, to win the final victory of the revolutionary cause of Juche by dint of the might of Songun serve as a basic source of the high dignity and victory of the great Paektusan nation.
