Actually, "come with me if you want to live" has some potential. Tweaked slightly perhaps for "Come/Stay/Stand with US if you want to live."
Baltar: "I don't want to miss a moment of the last Battlestar's destruction!"
Centurion: "Sir, I really think you should look at the other Battlestar."
Baltar: "What are you babbling about other...it's impossible!"
Centurion: "No. It is a Battlestar."

Corrax Entry 7:17: So you walk eternally through the shadow realms, standing against evil where all others falter. May your thirst for retribution never quench, may the blood on your sword never dry, and may we never need you again.

"We kill so that you may live."

Oh! Oh! I know the best one!

A poem by the great Chinese hero Zhang Xianzhong.
Heaven brings forth innumerable things to help man.
Man has nothing with which to recompense Heaven.
Kill. Kill. Kill. Kill. Kill. Kill. Kill.

Works nice as a sales pitch. As an armed forces motto?
"Peace is our profession" was a real motto!

I always liked the unofficial addition: "Nuclear war is just a hobby".

Hmmm. How about troop sayings in this 'verse?

Well the unofficial motto for the Federation's droptroopers (orbit-to-surface infantry) is "Look out below!"

So I am aware, thank you. Now maybe it's just me being a nitpicky bastard but I think 'peace is our profession' and 'peace through superior firepower' don't really carry the same message. :D
'Next time I let Superman take charge, just hit me. Real hard.'
'You're a princess from a society of immortal warriors. I'm a rich kid with issues. Lots of issues.'
'No. No dating for the Batman. It might cut into your brooding time.'
'Tactically we have multiple objectives. So we need to split into teams.'-'Dibs on the Amazon!'
'Hey, we both have a Martian's phone number on our speed dial. I think I deserve the benefit of the doubt.'
'You know, for a guy with like 50 different kinds of vision, you sure are blind.'
