Why burn a parachute while parachuting?
Indeed why? There are videos of examples where a parachutist has deliberately set fire to their parachute in flight, however this is part of a stunt. For 99.9999999% of skydivers, they do not set fire to their parachute as it is needed to save their life. For your information, all skydivers wear a reserve parachute for use in the case of a malfunction of the main parachute.
What do US Army Paratroopers traditionally yell when jumping from an aeroplane?
When Paratroopers jump out of an airplane, they don't yell anything. They do execute the 1st point of performance; the first point of performance is to execute a proper exit, check body position, and count. Counting by 1000nds, (e.g., one thousand, two thousand, three thousand, four thousand) is how Paratroopers determine if they need to deploy their reserve parachute. If no opening shock from the main parachute is felt by four thousand (4 seconds after exiting the aircraft), the ripcord rip is pulled thus deploying the reserve parachute.(former Sergeant, 1-501st Parachute Infantry Regiment, and 307th Airborne Engineers, 82nd Airborne Division).

The upward force in a parachute jump is caused by air resistance or drag acting on the parachute as it opens and expands. This creates a drag force that slows down the descent of the jumper, allowing them to land safely.
