During a live-fire exercise in 1991, Keane saved David Petraeus’ life. Petraeus was fired, according to Keane “I had to fight to save his life because he was standing right next to me by mistake. He had a quarter-sized hole in his back that was gushing blood, and we stopped the bleeding, got him on a helicopter, and took him to a surgeon, and we’ve been kind of bonded since then.”

In 2003, Keane stepped down from the military.
