I was curious about method of incapacitating Michelle by death or unconsciousness. It's been metioned on here several times before that due to Dale's military history, he most likely would know how to inflict unconsciousness or death rather quickly and efficiently.

Here's an excerpt:
CHAPTER 4
MEDIUM-RANGE COMBATIVES
In medium-range combatives, two opponents are already within touching
distance. The arsenal of possible body weapons includes short punches and
strikes with elbows, knees, and hands. Head butts are also effective; do not forget
them during medium-range combat. A soldier uses his peripheral vision to
evaluate the targets presented by the opponent and choose his target. He should be aggressive and concentrate his attack on the opponent's vital points to end the
fight as soon as possible.
4-1. VITAL TARGETS
The body is divided intothree sections: high, middle, and low. Eachsection contains vital targets(Figure 4-1,pages 4-5 and 4-6). The effects of
striking these targets follow:
a.
High Section.
The high section includes the head and neck; it is the mostdangerous target area.
(1)
Top of the head.
The skull is weak where the frontal cranial bones join.
A forceful strike causes trauma to the cranial cavity, resulting in
unconsciousness and hemorrhage. A severe strike can result in death.
(2)
Forehead.
A forceful blow can cause whiplash; a severe blow can
cause cerebral hemorrhage and death.(3)
Temple.
The bones of the skull are weak at the temple, and an artery
and large nerve lie close to the skin. A powerful strike can cause
unconsciousness and brain concussion. If the artery is severed, the resultingmassive hemorrhage compresses the brain, causing coma and or death.
(4)
Eyes.
A slight jab in the eyes causes uncontrollable watering and
blurred vision. A forceful jab or poke can cause temporary blindness, or theeyes can be gouged out. Death can result if the fingers penetrate through thethin bone behind the eyes and into the brain.(5)
Ears.
A strike to the ear with cupped hands can rupture the eardrumand may cause a brain concussion.
4-1
FM 21-150
(6)
Nose.
Any blow can easily break the thin bones of the nose, causing
extreme pain and eye watering.
(7)
Under the nose.
A blow to the nerve center, which is close to the
surface under the nose, can cause great pain and watery eyes.(8)
Jaw.
A blow to the jaw can break or dislocate it. If the facial nerve ispinched against the lower jaw, one side of the face will be paralyzed.
(9)
Chin.
A blow to the chin can cause paralysis, mild concussion, andunconsciousness. The jawbone acts as a lever that can transmit the force of
a blow to the back of the brain where the cardiac and respiratory mechanisms
are controlled.
(10)
Back of ears and base of skull.
A moderate blow to the back of the
ears or the base of the skull can cause unconsciousness by the jarring effecton the back of the brain. However, a powerful blow can cause a concussionor brain hemorrhage and death.
(11)
Throat.
A powerful blow to the front of the throat can cause death
by crushing the windpipe. A forceful blow causes extreme pain and gagging
or vomiting.
(12)
Side of neck.
A sharp blow to the side of the neck causes
unconsciousness by shock to the carotid artery, jugular vein, and vagus nerve.
For maximum effect, the blow should be focused below and slightly in front
of the ear. A less powerful blow causes involuntary muscle spasms and
intense pain. The side of the neck is one of the best targets to use to drop anopponent immediately or to disable him temporarily to finish him later.
(13)
Back of neck.
A powerful blow to the back of ones neck can cause
whiplash, concussion, or even a broken neck and death.b.
Middle Section.
The middle section extends from the shoulders to thearea just above the hips. Most blows to vital points in this region are not fatal
but can have serious, long-term complications that range from trauma to
internal organs to spinal cord injuries.(1)
Front of shoulder muscle.
A large bundle of nerves passes in front of
the shoulder joint. A forceful blow causes extreme pain and can make the
whole arm ineffective if the nerves are struck just right.(2)
Collarbone.
A blow to the collarbone can fracture it, causing intense
pain and rendering the arm on the side of the fracture ineffective. The
fracture can also sever the brachial nerve or subclavian artery.(3)
Armpit.
A large nerve lies close to the skin in each armpit. A blow tothis nerve causes severe pain and partial paralysis. A knife inserted into thearmpit is fatal as it severs a major artery leading from the heart.
(4)
Spine.
A blow to the spinal column can sever the spinal cord, resultingin paralysis or in death.
4-2
