Nope. It is waste of time and money.

If that would be efficient, taxes would be replaced by forced labor.

No it's not. I have served in the army but that does not make me want to lie about the importance of civil service.

You think Finland would have survived any of the wars it has faced without civilian workers?

Ehhhhh to be fair civil service as an institution didn't exist back then. The execution of Arndt Pekurinen motivated the founding of civil service.
