“They saw their injured country's woe;
The flaming town, the wasted field;
Then rushed to meet the insulting foe;
They took the spear, - but left the shield.”

Looks like something Rube Goldberg might have dreamt up 75 years ago. The difference, of course, is that Goldberg's fiendishly circuitous, but essentially comical contraptions eventually got you from point A to point B, whereas here You just go and go and go and go and go at ever more frantic rates of speed and never get anywhere.
