The Vietnam War might have been avoided, if communism had not been involved.
US fighters are better now...they all have guns on them! If it hadn't been for the Vietnam War, they'd all just have missiles.
They were concerned because at the time, China was communist so (obviously) they were supporting the north of Vietnam. China could have been worried as America had been such a big force in WWII.
Not being able to occupy Laos on the side of North Vietnam could have increased casualties and escalated efforts.
If it were better planned, better equipped, better executed, and had developed better amphibious tactics, it could have; but given the times, no.

If Laos had closed borders, the North Vietnamese Army would not have been able to use the Ho Chi Minh trail to supply the Viet Cong in South Vietnam. Without supplies from the NVA, the Viet Cong would not have been able to carry out terrorist attacks, thus the U.S could fight on their own terms. Such a thing could have easily turned the war around.

No. As of the 2008 Games, the Olympics have never been held in Vietnam.
