You can't manufacture a will to fight, as we never seem to learn (see Iraq.) By contrast, Thailand was next door to the shitshow and was never under serious threat, putting to rest the Domino Theory.
You're forgetting Laos & Cambodia which literally are between Vietnam and Thailand.... Both of which fell to Communism in 1975 along with South Vietnam... very much like dominoes.
