Ask the other way around. Would they be willing to commit suicide and see all Pakistan turned into a lifeless mass-grave and destroy the important local hotspots of Islam around the world just to stay in control of Afghanistan...?
I seriously doubt it.
Anyhow, if you do not accept to destroiy your enemy, don't continue to fight him, but withdraw. Else ypou commit a crime against your own people, and your own troops. ASn army is not to be wasted like this, over nothing but illusions and increasing a poltical party's chance at next election.
Regarding this war now, the road to Afghanistan leads over Pakistan. Leave Pakistan untouched, and you have lost Afghanistan. You do not like that? Then turn Pakistan into as much agony as is needed to make them stay out of the formula, and as much as is needed to make sure they do not dare to re-engage later again.
