In the story long way gone on page 128,the soldiers singing Leone anthem.”high we exactly thee,realm of the free, great is the love we have for thee..”

Question

Why does Ishmael include that particular line from the anthem on his story ? What point is he trying to make and why is it irony ?

I suppose this would illustrate a patriotic sense of duty to their country.
