Don't look too long at this milpic if you are bothered by heights.
Members of the U.S. Army Parachute Team -- Sgt. 1st Class John Berentis, from Yuma, Arizona and Staff Sgt. Laura Dickmeyer, from Abilene, Texas -- assess the wind conditions prior to their pre-game jump into FedEx field for the Army vs. Navy game on Dec. 10. Last year was the first time in the game's 120-year history that the teams have played within the Capitol beltway.
This is from a series on the Foreign Policy website, the best US Combat Camera images of 2011.
