The helpful stacker's pic illustrates the paras attitude well in believing they are better than other soldiers due to their para role.
The army has three arduous courses, P company, special forces selection and what used to be called the patrols course (soldiers can also complete the all arms commando course, but this is classed differently)
The paras usually are only para trained but like to think they are better than soldiers who are patrols trained as well as para trained (and sometime all arms commando trained too), but have belief that being in para reg is the top dog job.
It's quite funny really, and personally I find it a tougher career path for a soldier to be patrols, para and all arms trained but then also spend time in fancy dress doing ceremonial duties. The two roles are massively different but both very time consuming in their own ways. It was also fun when working with marines and paras to point out that the marines did para training in their spare time for something to stop them getting bored.
