Aragorn's mistake concerning the army raised from the Paths of the Dead

[Cinderella]

I am the Queen of What If's in LotR but this one never occured to me. I don't think it was a mistake per se but more of a well thought out decision. There is more that could go wrong with the plan to bring the dead to Mordor. And Aragorn must have felt that his duty was to Gondor first or something of the like.

Which event deserves more attention? Your forces being destroyed in the Black Gate... or the hobbit in your mountain?

Haha you would think it would be the forces at the gate... unless you're Sauron and you see a familiar looking ring on said Hobbit's hand...
