No. It is incorrect. The case of who (nominative) and whom (objective) is ALWAYS determined by the way it functions in a relative clause when it begins the clause.
To illustrate: "(who, whom) service government servants" is the subordinate adjective clause. You will need who because it functions as the subject of the verb service within the clause, and the subject is always in the nominative case.
Note: the subject of the sentence is We and the verb is Are.
I hope this helps!!

You made a very good try. Due to an error in the sentence, it cannot be comprehended as written due to conflicted meanings within the sentence.
It can be made correct in 2 ways. The first changes the "whom" to "who" by eliminating the "m," Thus, the sentence would read, "We are the servants who service government servants." It means "we are the people [servants] who SERVE the other people [servants].
The second inverts the order of the words "service" and "government" and changes the final "servants" to "serves." Thus, "we are the servants whom government service serves." It means just the opposite, "we are the people [servants] who ARE SERVED BY the other people [servants].
Which answer you will need depends upon whether you were trying to say, "we are the people who serve," or "we are the people being served."
