Ending MAD was actually done by GI or Silent generation people (essentially, the last push in the 1980s), and the general implosion of the Soviet model. It's fair to give some credit for everyone who survived and didn't cause a war during MAD, but that's largely top political leaders (who remained older longer than the general population or most politicians, even) and top military leaders (who were probably 45-55 in the 1970s and 1980s, so kind of borderline as baby boomers). But a lot of the soldiers, engineers, etc. from 1970-1990 were undeniably baby boomers so they get credit for that.
There were plenty of good things done by the baby boomers (I'd say some environmental regulations, like clean air/clean water/ozone, have been incredibly good, and were largely a result of lobbying and organization by baby boomers in the 1970s). They didn't do as many good things per capita as would be expected, and they have done far more bad per capita than previous or subsequent generations.
