The "I could do it better" argument is historically known as a not very good argument.

That's from the Wickerman. It's not really a quote, unless you count punches at quotes, which I do.

Meanin' no offense, but the Latin is just a smidge off. Literally the way that is phrased it means, "Thus, want peace equal to war."
What you're looking for is, "Sī pacem vīs, (tum) parā bellō" or literally, "If peace you want, (then) prepare for war." The tum/then is optional but more standard in terms of grammar.
And since I know you military types love to say this sort of thing aloud, it would be pronounced as approximately "see pah-kem wee-ss, toom pa-rah bell-oh".
