The contrast between the approaches of the Chief of Army and the QF DCP to online comment by their subordinates is quite stark.

The CA intervened to keep access to the site avilable at work and values the input the soldiers make online. Whereas, the QF DCP in effect demanded the offending site be closed down and questioned the integrity of those who created and used it.
To be fair, I haven't read the army gripe site nor the QF one, I doubt the army troops were directly commenting on the competence or personality of their officers.
In this information age I suspect that as one such site is closed down another will pop up. Just ask the music industry how successful that approach is.
