Depoliticizing armed forces– the old trick of hostile forces
16/10/14
The Vietnamese People's Army
Whenever we are preparing for our Party Congress or other national
important political events, the hostile forces thrust
the anti-state activities in order to divide the bloc
of national unity, to
split the Party and the State, armed
forces, with consistent goal is to eliminate socialism that we are building and
protecting. It’s a pity that there are
not a few people, including former officers, senior
leaders of the Party, State
and armed forces who has been trapped
by this wicked
tricks, and support for false allegations, including: "Vietnamese armed forces today, in terms of all
aspects, is of the people, by the people, not the
Party!”
V.I. Lenin had shown that all the political parties, the
bourgeois government use the military to protect
their class’s interests. So, the claims
that: "
neutralized armed forces", "military doesn’t engage in politics"
are just false slogans of hostile forces; Therefore,
demanding "neutralized
armed forces" is just distortion, deception and to conceal
their dangerous intrigue of "depoliticizing"
armed forces.
Both theoretical and practical
history of class
societies shows that the State
and the army are the products of class society; the
ruling class is always seeking to control armed forces as a violent tool for
class struggle. The political parties have
been using the state to hold the armed forces to
fulfill political objectives. It
is not only in
socialist institutions, but also very popular in countries under capitalist institutions.
The collapse of the socialist
system in the Soviet
Union had given a painful lesson on building
the political nature of the armed forces.
Leaving the view of Marxism - Leninism
of building new model of military, especially with the betrayal of some leaders, the Soviet army had
carried out the policy of "neutralizing", cancelling
leadership of the Party to the military.
Therefore, the military quickly had
no base to stand on, especially the base of thoughts, and quickly became
disabled before the "peace movement" of imperialism and hostile
forces. In the end, there were no core
forces to protect the achievements of
the October Revolution, the achievement of many generations of Soviet people had built.
70 years of building
and developing, our military and other armed forces have been associated
with the leadership of the Party. From very first days, our Party and President Ho Chi Minh have been
cared much about building the army with the nature of working
class, the people and the nation. Things can
change but the principle of
the absolute, direct leadership of the
Party, on all aspects, to military is unchangeable. In any circumstances, we
must keen on the principle to
build political nature of the military
and other armed forces. Every thoughts and actions to weaken the
Party's leadership over the military,
must be exposed and
destroyed resolutely.
From these above issues,
we can affirm that, the people who
said " Vietnamese armed forces today, in
terms of all aspects, is of the people, by the
people, not the Party " are distorting reality,
hiding the dangerous intrigue to split
the party and the army, to strip of the Party’s
leadership over the military and then to abolish the Party leadership to society, creating
grounds for enemy
forces to completely abolish the socialist regime. This
is still the old
strick, but be carried
out under the name of "promoting
internal democracy, upholding the
autonomy of commanding officers, whether military personnel or politicians"
in the hope of making thought disturbance, sowing
doubt, inciting hatred,
advocating anti-state activities.
In the near term, they want to destroy the Party Congress at all levels and in the long run is "depoliticizing"
our troops and other armed forces. But
this act only bring
excitement to those who’re shallow, gullible, or
ambiguous, and dissatisfied with the regime, but
we still need to raise
the alert to avoid the trap of the hostile forces.
To expose deception
in military construction,
especially building the political
nature of the army, firstly, we must enhance
vigilance, raise awareness and political responsibility in implementing democratic
rights and civic duties; on the other hand, we must build the army well-trained in politics, importantly is to maintain and enhance the absolute, direct leadership
of the Party, on all aspects over the military; innovating political education in both
content and form
to make every soldier
steadfast with the goal of national independence and socialism; ensuring that our troops are political
forces, the loyal and trusty fighting forces of the Party, State and
people in the construction and protection the independence,
sovereignty, unity, integrity of the
national territory./.

The VPA, the core of the Vietnam people’s armed forces, is an army from the people and for the people, and ready to sacrifice their own lives for “the independence and freedom of the Homeland, for socialism and for the happiness of the people.”
"Determined to win."
Vietnamese people always proud of the Army for their victory in wars of protecting the country's independence.
In its early days, the first regular troops of Vietnam attained resounding feats of arms, liberating large areas to establish the bases for the struggle for independence, beginning the VPA's tradition of “determined to fight and determined to win
The power of the Army is also the power of the whole nation, the entire Party, People and the Army have always been a united bloc when the enemy invading the country.
Not only protecting our own country, but the Army also do the international obligation.
Yes, that right Ms Van Nhan. In response to an urgent appeal from the Cambodian people and the Kampuchean National United Front for National Salvation, Vietnam’s military volunteers, along with the Cambodian armed forces, annihilated 21 Pol Pot divisions and put an end to this brutal genocide regime.
So many young Vietnamese soldiers had died for the liberation and peace of Cabodia.
When the country embarked upon the period of peace and construction, the VPA adjusted its organizational structure and equipment, and downsized its strength by nearly two thirds.
Our Army is an heroic army. They will do their job as better as they have done and as the expectation of the people.
