Frenesi never figures it out. Her Mother never does. DL gets close, but 
can't quite bring her self to say it. Of course, she has "Uniform" 
issues of her own, Moody--the key to her relationship with Frenesi. 

But why focus on Frenesi's attraction to men in uniform? 

Zoyd is attracted to Men in Uniform too. 

In fact, lots of the characters in VL are attracted to "uniforms" or men
or women wearing them or Brandishing weapons, driving powerful machines
(DL & Isaiah 2:4). 

Why do the Pisks, Eliot X, Vietnamese Bitch, etc.,   wear Uniforms? 

The desperate attempt by the young in this novel to Regain a sense of
Rightness in this world by means inimical to both the young and those
close to them (the Life force) exposes a mechanism--namely, the
compulsive identification of a people, whose "tribal" integrity has been
destroyed, with the destroyer and his methods of destruction.
