Even if Cheetara was under the rules similar to that of the US military, she would be court martialed and dishonourbly discharged for what she did last episode.

The difference is Lion-O no longer has a kingdom. She can't really be court martialed because really with Jaga dead she's the leader of the Clerics and she's the only one still alive. There's no point in discharging someone from a group where they're the only member. And Lion-O can't really exile her because he no longer has anywhere to exile her from. They're a wandering group. The Thundertank is Panthro's so IMO Lion-O can't really banish anyone from the tank without Panthro's permission. Add on the fact that if he DID try to banish Cheetara then Tygra might choose to go with her, thus breaking up the group and making them weaker and less likely to be able to defeat Mumm-Ra.

Without a kingdom Lion-O is king in name only and he only has the authority he still has because the group continues to follow him. He doesn't have any remaining police force or guards to enforce his banishment. They're all he has left.
