Cowards? Read about Dien bien Phu. Heavily outnumbered and slaughtered Viet Minh until they couldn't fight anymore. They were screwed over by their leadership.

Or even a more recent example: Algeria. They absolutely decimated the enemy and were probably the closest to actually winning a brutal counter-insurgency as any major Western power has ever been post WW2.
The paras and many of the officers of that time were some of the hardest men around - many had fought with the Allies in WW2 (actually, as had many of the insurgents they were fighting), in Vietnam, and then again in Algeria.
