Even from just a historical perspective America thinking the French are cowards makes no sense.

France is historically one of most belligerent nations in post-Roman history. The Kingdom of France had been kicking people in the teeth for almost a thousand years, to say nothing of the first half of the 19th century. Sure, by World War 2 France lost to the Germans three times in a row. But that was partially due to be screwed over by the modernization of warfare and not because they're cowards.

While a pretty crude show one cool part of the cartoon Yvon of the Yukon is that while the title character is a gigantic stereotype of a Frenchman, he's a gigantic stereotype of a 17th century Frenchman, so the polar opposite of a coward.
