No clue why she yelled out 13.
eta2: Pardon the usage of the NY Post but they seem to have the facts

Greene (R-Ga.) made faces and muttered throughout Bidens roughly one hour speech, particularly when he spoke about administering COVID-19 vaccines to children but Boebert (R-Colo.) earned greater gasps for slamming Bidens Afghanistan exit by invoking the deaths of 13 US troops in an August bombing at Kabuls airport.
Many of Greenes utterances were inaudible to reporters, such as when she yapped something in Bidens direction when he spoke about ordering antiviral pills from Pfizer to treat COVID-19.
Sorry to use NY Post. At least this time they aren't slamming Biden or Democrats.

alternative to American cable news: France24
Yes, France24 is basically French state TV, unofficially of course. They have a much more Euro-centric focus and lack the over-the-top graphics and sounds that other cable networks have. It is in English, and they have other channels in other languages. If you want detailed American coverage, it's not the best alternative.
Two ways of accessing it:
(obnoxious Google ads unless you purchase YouTube Premium, or use an ad-blocker)
and
https://www.france24.com/en/live
https://www.france24.com/en/about-us
Its journalists and correspondents offer viewers, listeners and Internet users comprehensive coverage of world events, with a focus on cultural diversity and contrasting viewpoints via news bulletins, reports, magazines and debates. 66 nationalities are represented among the groups employees.
Every week, RFI, France 24 and Monte Carlo Doualiya attract nearly 100 million listeners and viewers (measured in less than one third of the countries where France Médias Monde broadcasts). France Médias Monde digital platforms attract 35 million visitors a month (2017 average). The media have 60 million followers on Facebook and Twitter (July 2017).
France Médias Monde is the parent company of CFI, the French media cooperation agency and also a shareholder of the French-language general interest TV channel TV5MONDE.

A Team Of American And British Special Forces Veterans Are Preparing To Join Ukraines Fight Against Russia
https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/christopherm51/american-nato-military-veterans-fight-russia-with-ukraine
The group, composed of six US citizens, three Brits, and a German, are NATO-trained and experienced in close combat and counterterrorism. They want to be among the first to officially join the new International Legion of the Territorial Defense of Ukraine that Zelensky announced on Sunday, according to text messages reviewed by BuzzFeed News. Two former American infantry officers are also making plans to come to Ukraine to provide leadership for the group, the Army veteran recruiter said.
As intense fighting raged in the Ukrainian capital for the fourth day and Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered nuclear deterrence forces on high alert, Zelensky urged people around the world who can help fight Moscows vile tactics to enlist in Ukraines Armed Forces.
This is the beginning of a war against Europe, against European structures, against democracy, against basic human rights, against a global order of law, rules, and peaceful coexistence, Zelensky said in a statement announcing a decree on the creation of the unit. Anyone who wants to join the defense of Ukraine, Europe, and the world can come and fight side by side with the Ukrainians against the Russian war criminals.
