I think that is a reasonable argument. I do, however, think that the experience of WWI had a lot to do with the willingness to appease, and the ready collapse of French forces after the outbreak of war, in the run-up and start of WWII. And I do think that French imperial pride was very strong,and more motivating than anti- Communism expressed in the Domino Theory, and that the United States did not make a full commitment to win in Vietnam, so that both countries showed some reluctance to stay the course. I do agree, though, that there were several variables, and it is hard to link the French behavior to Verdun.
