People really do talk absolute nonsense, and on certain subjects no one ever stops them.
To everyone who thinks the H-Bomb shortened the war perhaps they would have liked to have been a victim of the bomb and do their part in shortening the war.
But obviously we didn't need an H-Bomb to shorten the war. If all the soldiers had just committed suicide one night the war would have been over instantly. And if they wanted to save lives then just lay your weapons down and it would have been over instantly without any loss of life. In fact never even go to war and nothing would have happened.
No people chose to go to war and chose to die, and they did so to win. The H-Bomb helped the Allies win. And it was dropped not to shorten a war to save lives, but to hasten a victory for the Allies. Which is obvious if anyone thinks about it.
If Japan or Germany had got the H-Bomb first and used it on defenceless civilians they would have shortened the war too, but would have been viewed as Evil. And that is the correct view. It was Evil, and the people who both used it and supported the use of it are Evil.

On the subject of shortening the war the absolutely best way to have done that would have been for Germany to have massacred the 338,000 Allied troops at Dunkirk in 1940. That would have been the end of the war and it would have saved the lives of 80 million people and the Holocaust would not have even been triggered. The Germans would have been seen as complete Heroes for quickly and decisively defeating the British Empire and liberating the world. With control of the Middle East, Germany would have easily found lands for the Jews and would have (probably with mutual agreement) relocated them all from Europe. But the Germans made a critical mistake of expecting rational behaviour from Churchill and unfortunately he did not surrender and so while British troops were spared it was only for them to prolong a war that destroyed Europe and let the US take over and rob everyone of their freedom.
