For most of this decade, photojournalist David Guttenfelder has been documenting life in Afghanistan.
Now you can see the scope of his work here.
One of Guttenfelder's most famous recent photos featured U.S. Army Specialist Zachary Boyd joining a firefight last spring while wearing pink boxer shorts.
The photo, which appeared on the front page of The New York Times, prompted NPR's Bob Simon to quip: "Real men wear pink boxers."
