5:34Now PlayingSenator Bernie Sanders said the Veterans Affairs secretary is "one of the most important jobs in the entire federal government, but also one of the most challenging." Sanders, a member of the Senate Veterans' Affairs Committee, will vote to confirm retired Gen. Eric K. Shinseki, President-elect Barack Obama's choice to lead the Department of Veterans Affairs. At a committee confirmation hearing, the former four-star general and Army chief of staff said he will modernize the second largest federal agency. He also pledged to reopen health care services to middle-income veterans who lost benefits under the Bush administration.
