Ditka all but admits that he’s a gutless coward in this thread: [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=875473](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=875473)

I assert (not in response to any particular post) that [any young and healthy person who advocates for a war that they aren’t willing to fight in is a coward](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=21642158#post21642158).

Ditka responds:

I break my rule and respond:

> What about you? Do you plan to volunteer to serve if Trump gets us into war with Venezuela or Iran?

Crickets. At least for this question – he responds to other posts ([tying himself in knots](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=21642437&postcount=46) to avoid admitting to cowardice), and in other threads… but somehow not this one. Heh.

As I said in that thread, his refusal to respond is kind of a response in itself. What a gutless, misogynistic coward.
