Quote:Scowcroft served as a military aide to President Richard Nixon, and was chosen by [President Gerald] Ford to serve as national security adviser after Mr. Nixon's resignation. He oversaw the evacuation of American officials from Vietnam in 1975. Although he left the White House after President Jimmy Carter was elected, he advised the president on arms control and helped formulate the Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty II between the U.S. and the Soviet Union in 1979. Quote:In 2016, Scowcroft publicly endorsed Hillary Clinton for president.

“We can never undo what we have done. We can never go back in time. We write history with our decisions and our actions. But we also write history with our responses to those actions. We can leave the pain and the damage in our wake, unattended, or we can do the work of acknowledging and fixing, to whatever extent possible, the harm that we have caused.”
