Ah what? so just because someone writes something without a single reference or narration has to be believed? Ayesha RA was there as moral support and not as a battle commander who gives orders, In Islam, women were granted specific roles in society, hence there are certain thing which they can not do, like become a Caliph or Lead the Prayer, if someone did not happen in the times of Prophet and his 4 Rightly guided caliphs, later on, whoever tries to distort religion will be answerable to Allah.
There is a wisdom behind such decision made by Allah, Imagine the battle of Camel was fought between Muslims and on the other side there was some non-Muslim Army, And Hazrat Ayesha RA was captured, Nau zubillah, Allah has said in Quran strictly that Prophet's wives are the mother of all believers and they are not supposed to be seen by non-Mehram, imagine if a Non-Muslim army capture one of the ummha tul Mumineen and disrespect them in front of the whole world, Similar incident happens when the Rebels and scums murdered Uthman RA and they refused to bury his body, then one of the Prophet's widow came to Masjid Al Nabwai and threaten the Muslims that if they did not let us bury Uthman RA than she will take off her veil/Hijab and run on the streets of Madina burying Uthman RA herself, and some Sahahab believed that if she actually did that Than Allah would've unleashed his wrath upon the city like never before.
War is always a 50/50 game, any Army can lose to the other and back in the days and even in modern times we saw what Armies do with War Prisoners, Rape and Body mutilation is not a secret, Every Army who has ever fought a war in modern times have done horrible crimes against the women, and children, that is one of the reasons Allah has to divide the roles of Both men and women, those roles that are prescribed to Men, it's best that they do their part, and those roles and duties which are prescribed by Allah to Women's its best that they do theirs, when women and men start competing in the name of equality, hey If men can be Special forces we (Women) can be, that is now how things work in Islam, yes modern Western Countries that is how Feminists and Progressives see it but things that are Part of Islamic history, Hadith, Quran can not and will not be changed.
As for the Topic, Yes it is good that one woman based on her hard work and determination achieved this position, but I doubt that GHQ will send her to the front lines in any battle against the Indians.
