This one stood out to me as a "come on, no way he said that" so I looked up his actual quote, apparently speaking to a veterans' group in Virgina... and is that an accurate summary of his statement? Well...
I mean, that is just some epic level spin right there. He definitely did not say anything of the sort.

It was still pretty dumb. IT has nothing to do with strength of the individual and what they can handle. I know that doesn't mean he is calling PTSD sufferers weak, but it still shows a lack of knowledge about the issue. Every soldier has different experiences and some not getting PTSD could just mean that they didn't see the same things. And sometimes people "handle" some pretty grave stuff and then it is one event that is relatively benign in isolation that puts them over the top.
