In the military, we know that as “a hero is someone who was in the wrong place when **** hit the fan”
It’s not an insult to those who do heroic things – it’s a realization that, given a situation to react in, many people would be heroes. Many Medal of Honor recipients claim that they are not heroes – they simply did what had to be done at the moment.
I’m not sure you’re going to find the origin – the idea is at least as old as the Roman Empire. “Necessity makes even the timid brave.” Salust of Rome before 35 BCE
My favorite on the subject was by John Wayne – “Courage is being scared to death — and saddling up anyway.”

Probably some coward who never received any commendations, it is an insult to all who have received one.

I knew it as: “A hero is a man who is afraid to run away.”, but it is just a proverb for me
