"The armed villains of the West, armed with whatever latest military hardware they are, cannot match this revolutionary army with an unfathomable spiritual depth," Kim was quoted as saying by the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA).
Kim argued that North Korean military personnel were willing to sacrifice their lives for their country. He said that mass heroism was a powerful weapon of the North Korean army, which cannot be replicated by any other army, even "at any exorbitant cost."
