That's false, the difference between 2 odd numbers is always even.
eg, 11-7 = 4
1 counter-example is sufficient to disprove that.
--------------------
Odd numbers can always be expressed as
2n + 1, where n is any integer.
1 odd number is 2n + 1, another is 2m + 1
2n + 1 - (2m+1) = 2n - 2m = 2(n - m)
2*(n-m) is even.
