Kennedy was the first GI President, and ushered in the Consciousness Revolution. There was little overlap with the postwar High.
The President is not everything. Look at the GIs across all of politics, and for that matter, across private life. Come on, the GIs were well entrenched during the 1950s! It's not like they had to wait until the mid 1960s to have power.
Denial is more than just a river in Africa.
The average age of the Senate was in the high 50s during the 1950s, so again, the GIs didn't take over until the end of the 1950s. And that's ignoring the fact that the senior legislative positions are the more powerful ones.
