The Korea Military Academy said on Tuesday that they are strongly considering bringing back their old salutation motto tongil (“unification”), meaning in this context unification by military force.
The academy, which opened in 1946, used the salutation motto tongil until former President Roh Moo-hyun’s administration, which sought closer cooperation with the North, changed it to chungsung (“loyalty”) in 2003.
