Hi there! "Male and female soldiers", at least that's what I understand. "Believe" is to have faith in something or somebody, but it also means " to hold as an opinion; suppose; think" Hope it's helpful!

01. "Servicemen and women" is short for "servicemen and servicewomen", which is what the writer should have written, but this short form has set like concrete, even though if you must use the form, it is better written as "servicemen and -women".
2. No. Carr believed that the public would be interested.
