The Amish pay Dutch military officers large sums of money to breed with their daughters to introduce new genetic bloodlines.

They like to get highly decorated chimeras. Army and Marine Corps officers who just so happen to be Dutch to go and they pay them big money to stud out their daughters so they get new genite bloodlines. What? The whole family. What? Wait, what? They put a sheet between you like Orthodox Jews do. But it's just like breeding cattle.

The story about the Amish hiring soldiers to breed with their daughters is false fiction originating from anonymous internet message boards.

Well, do you know what this is? This comes from message boards. This comes from anonymous posts on message boards. There's a whole rich tradition online of sort of Amish fiction that has to do with the idea of how different that world is. Yeah, yeah. So people sort of do these. It's slash fic. Exactly. They create these sort of ideas that are believable enough to people who know nothing. And then this one is sort of caught on a little bit in the internet world.
