When you do something that is relatively useless but seems like a victory at the time, and you relish in its glory until you realise its lack of worth. In most instances, they are followed by the phrase "wait a minute... that didn't accomplish anything."

The U.S.A. exists because France's citizens fought alongside us when we needed them most. And then America and France kinda went to war while France and Britian were at war, and then France fell into revolution and Britian and America went to war, and, did I mention? the British and the Americans fought the French before all this even began. With Injuns! Anyway, America eventually went to war with itself, and the West Point generals from the South battled the West Point generals from the North, and then we hooked back up with France and Britian and together kicked the crap out of the Axis.
