That works only if you really are OK with killing all your enemies. If you go to war with the intent of an armistice, you wasted your soldiers’ lives.

Unless your goal is the complete annihilation of a foreign nation, political faction, or alliance, the end will always be some kind of armistice. The Nazi leadership went to war in 1939 (and beyond) with absolutely no plans for armistice...that didn’t end so well for them.
