They've lost most of their major wars, most of their reputation comes from winning two big ones, one with a lot of help.
They also have some of the most baffling and embarrassing military disasters of any country.

I'm willing to cut them slack there, they were in the middle of a gigantic civil war after the cream of the crop of their military got gutted by WW1 just a couple years before. Also in Poland specifically, they were fighting with rough numerical parity at the end of their supply tether.
