And there are many cases where they have. This guy certainly got his $2,000 worth when Seal Team 6 swooped in, killed a bunch of people and rescued him. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-electio...

Trump administration had over the years rescued 55 hostages in 24 countries. Their only qualification of rescue, being american citizens.

Thus it is true, and it is not a myth.
